9.5.5 Auto Screening

An automatic screening protocol can be implemented in the TEOAE25 software, such that testing can be un-
dertaken by one who has little or no experience in OAE testing. A physician, audiologist or other such pro-
fessional can then control the testing parameters.
Click New and enter the name of the screening algorithm. The protocol can then be modified to fulfil whole
wave reproducibility and/or emission amplitude per frequency band (five bands between 500Hz to 5500Hz)
criteria.
Depending on the recorded emission a pass or refer result will be given. This will appear at the upper right
corner of the screen once testing has finished with a pass (shown in green) or a refer (shown in red).
Above the emission FFT a tick will be awarded if a frequency band has been passed.
Mandatory bands are underlined.
If the instrument is only to be used for screening purposes then check the box Allow only default Auto
Test. This will prevent unwanted or accidental manipulation of the stimulus and recording parameters.
An automatic screening protocol can be password protected to prevent intentional or inadvertent tampering
with the protocol.
If the password is no longer required leave both password fields blank and press the change password but-
ton.
